Rivier University

Major: Nursing (This Major's Salary over time)
I graduated from Rivier College two years ago. I have been an RN for three years, one year as an oncology/urology nurse and the last two as a critical care/ED nurse. I am very grateful for the education I received at Rivier college and the opportunities/connections it allowed me to make in order to do what I do today. I have read many comments on this blog site and it sounds like the same person or maybe even two people posting and reposting the same opinion. I felt the program was fair and helpful, especially the director. In fact I found the program to be a little too helpful to the students who were not willing to do the work or attend the classes. I have many friends and co-workers who attended nursing programs at much larger colleges/universities and the programs they were in seem much more difficult to stay in and the professor less likely to help then what I experience at Rivier College. I feel Rivier prepared me well to work in the "nursing world." In fact some patients even ask me " Where did you go to school?" I proudly say Rivier College and they respond "That is a good school. They did well with you." All in all, you get what you put in.
